* WHAT…Large breaking waves of 10 to 15 feet with dangerous
rip currents. Combined with high tides near 7 feet, minor and
shallow coastal flooding.
* WHERE…San Luis Obispo County Beaches and Santa Barbara
County Central Coast Beaches.
* WHEN…Until 10 PM PST this evening.
* IMPACTS…There is an increased risk for ocean drowning. Rip
currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Large
breaking waves can cause injury, wash people off beaches and
rocks, and capsize small boats near shore. Pooling of sea
water is possible around high tide at beach and harbor areas
that is uncommon with normal tidal ranges. Enhanced beach
erosion is also possible. No significant damage is expected.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…High tides will occur between 6 and 9 am.
